| - Was doing some shopping at the Upper Canada Mall on a Sunday with the BF. Used yelp to find a place to eat nearby since we weren't familiar with the area. Made in Mexico was one of the first places that popped up in the search. It looked like it had decent reviews, so decide to give it a try.
Got there around 6:30pm and the place was not even half full. We were seated right away at one of the (slightly unusual) high tables near the bar area and given 2 long large single sheet, double sided menus. One for drinks, one for food. The BF asked our waiter what he recommended, which were the burritos (he claimed it was massive) and the fish tacos. BF decided to take the waiter's recommendation and got the Chicken Burrito ($12.95), while I decided to get the Enchilada Lover's ($13.95). We waited about 15 mins, and just as the BF was starting to wonder if the food was taking a while to come out, like they read our minds our food showed up. Our waiter asked us if we wanted any hot sauce, we said yes, so he came back with 2 small containers of their homemade sauce, a Jalapenos and a Habanero.
Both our dishes came with 2 sides, since there were 5 sides to choose from, we got 4 different ones (Lime and Cilantro Rice, Mexican Rice, Refried Beans, and Frijoles Charros) so we could try a bit of each. The Chicken Burrito was big, but not exactly massive because I've seen bigger. It was stuffed with chicken and onion, refried beans, and mexican rice, but I would say mostly rice. My Enchilada Lover's came filled with chicken and topped with 4 different sauces (Salsa Roja, Salsa Verde, Salsa Poblana, and Mole), one on each. We both found our dishes a little bland, especially the burrito, and relied a lot on the hot sauce to give it flavour. The Enchilada was slightly better, due to the salsas and mole on top. I liked the Mole and the Salsa Verde better than the other two. Of the sides, I liked the Frijoles Charros, which is a bean soup, the most. The Mexican Rice was more flavourful then the Lime and Cilantro Rice, but it had frozen veggies in it, which I'm not a fan of. The lime wedge that came with the Lime and Cilantro Rice was dry and barely any juice came out of it when I wanted to add more lime flavor to the rice.
Portion sizes were average for the cost. We both found the chicken bland, like it wasn't seasoned at all. Didn't try the other meats, so don't know if those are better. I found it slightly weird we were the only ones seated at the high tables instead of with the other diners in the more traditional dinning area, because the wait staff would come over to the tables beside us and eat and chat with each other which was slightly awkward. But it might have been a good thing we weren't seated with the other diners either. While we were there, the wait staff came out 4 times with music and sombreros, shaking what sounds like maracas, and shouting "chug", which would have got on my nerves very quickly. I think this might be a better drinks place than maybe a food place. The drinks menu was as big as the food menu.
